that's obama. clinton needed the affirmation of other people and the world and that's what made him such a bril yat politician. obama of is a very different sort. the one thing he shares is enormous willpower and the will to get where he wants to go. and that's obvious, you can't be president without that. >> it's interesting, without the sort of background he had where his identity is something that he had to resolve, had he resolved it earlier, had he not grown up in hawaii and spent time overseas in indonesia, would he have been president? do you think? >> i think not. i think hawaii in particular was crucial to him. you know, and this is only viewing it through a racial lens. if he had grown up in camden or philadelphia or los angeles or some other place, he would have had to made that racial choice early and definitively. not just personally, but politically, probably, to succeed. because he came out of hawaii, which shall such a multi-glmpb lot place. everybody there is a hoppa. not that many

that's where romney can challenge obama. obama has moved further down the scale. he said middle class values are my values and so he's looking to take more middle class votes knowing that if it's romney, he'll probably blues some of thothe those votes he got from the upper class. >> how does romney match that? fastest growing block in the country is hispanic voters is moving away from the republican party. >> there's no question that's one of the big challenges for republicans and we need to do better. mark is right about seniors growing and with the $500 billion cut in medicare that the president instituted, it's going to be hard to bring them back. basically the republican coalition is half college educated, half not. romney does very well with the college educated part of the coalition. he needs to do better with less educated, more downscale voters in order to put together a winning coalition. >> we'll take a quick break here and be back with more of our "press pass" conversation with mark penn and whit ayres as i ask them who are the up and coming stars of th
